His television credits include multiple appearances on both the “Late Show with David Letterman” and “The Tonight Show” with Jay Leno, as well as A&E’s “Evening at the Improv,” Comedy Central and Showtime. He wrote for the Kevin James comedy “The King of Queens,” from its sixth season to its ninth and final season. Dennis was born and raised in Miami, Florida. He started doing stand-up comedy in his early thirties. Before that he had many different jobs. He bussed tables, bagged groceries, killed bugs, threw luggage, waited tables, painted houses, worked construction, and ran an asphalt business called “Tars and Stripes.” Starting out in small local comedy clubs, he soon moved to New York where he worked his way through the Manhattan comedy scene.

A true comedy veteran, Dennis has headlined most of the major comedy clubs in the States. Audiences all over the country have experienced his comedy, from nightclubs and cruise ships to colleges and corporations. He’s even performed at Carnegie Hall. His brother, Brian Regan is also a successful, in-demand comedian. Whether he’s entertaining millions on TV, thousands in concert, or just a few dozen at a private corporate event, Dennis has the experience and creativity to delight everyone in the audience.

When I was young, I was on track to fulfill my dream of becoming an NFL quarterback. Unfortunately I blew my knee out when I was in kindergarten. I came down a little too hard on the teeter totter one day. Right then and there, I realized I was going to have to find another way to make a living. I reassessed my skills. I asked myself, “what are you good at?” The answers came easily. I liked daydreaming, goofing off, staring out the window, and cracking up my friends. Okay, I made up the part about being a quarterback. My knee is fine! The true story might not be quite as fascinating, but here it is:

I am a comedian. I wasn’t always though – I started doing stand-up comedy in my early thirties. I hit my first open mic night at Coconuts Comedy Club in north Miami in 1987. I did okay. Four months later, I won a local contest. A month after that, a club owner paid me $30 a set to do my ten minutes on the weekend. I loved it! I still love it! Can’t think of anything I would rather do for a living.

When he was a kid growing up in Ridgecrest, CA, Dante knew he wanted to be a comedian. Dante is now one of the top headlining comedians in the United States, appearing on numerous television shows and in films, and appearing to sold-out crowds across the country, as well as making regular stops each year at U.S. military bases around the world, entertaining the troops in every branch of the Armed Forces. He has performed for the US troops more than any other comedian since Bob Hope. Dante has been a comedian since 1986. Most people know him as a cast member on season 5 of NBC's Last Comic Standing. On Last Comic Standing he received every audience favorite award and got the first standing ovation at the Semi-finals.

He has been honored as the recipient of several comedy awards, including the $10,000 grand prize on America's Funniest People on ABC; he also still holds the record for winning the most comedy awards ever presented to a single comedian at the BET Comedy Awards. Dante was even the winner of Los Angeles' "Funniest Black Comic in LA" award... we're still not sure how he even qualified for that one!

Beginning his career in San Diego at the La Jolla Comedy Store, Dante has since made a name for himself as one of the few comedians working today who are able to cross over to any crowd and still be just as funny. He is the rare sort of performer who can perform at an urban comedy club, do another set in front of a Latino crowd later that evening, and then still bring down the house at a Beverly Hills country club benefit show after that, all in the same night... and he has!

While he travels across the country, as well as abroad, today Dante calls Los Angeles his home, where you can catch him regularly at The Comedy Store and the Laugh Factory. In his comedy journey, Dante has had the honor and pleasure of working with some of the greats in the entertainment business, including Richard Pryor, Robin Williams, Milton Berle, BB King, Santana & Macy Grey... as well as Weird Al Yankovich (who may or may not qualify as one of the "greats" - but he IS a heck of a lot of fun!).

With his sold-out club shows & recent television appearances, as well as his almost nightly standing ovations, Dante is one act that's hard to miss!

Live Standup Comedy is back at Bremerton's Admiral Theatre with an all-new series produced in coordination with and hosted by Bremerton Comedy Legend The Great Cris! We are proud to present Comedian Tyler Boeh in an all new show this March.

How do you go from being a nationally recognized vocal percussionist in a college acapella group to a nationally touring headlining comedian? Ask Tyler Boeh, a comedian whose comedy has been described as high-energy, intelligent, physical, and silly. His quick wit and award winning “beat-boxing” talent bring audiences to hysterical heights.

Tyler started his stand-up career in his hometown of Portland, OR, but after placing in the finals of comedy competitions in Seattle, San Francisco, Boston and at the World Series of Comedy in Las Vegas, Tyler made his way to Los Angeles. Within a year of his move to Hollywood he had established himself at the top comedy clubs, completed work on two television pilots, and Tyler’s debut comedy album, “Carpool Companion” was chosen as LaughSpin Magazine’s album of the year when it was released in 2012.

In 2015 Tyler held his own with Craig Fergusson on his new show, “Celebrity Name Game”, was featured in numerous BuzzFeed videos, and appeared in 3 episodes of “Laughs on Fox”. 2016 culminated with a college tour that took him to nearly 40 campuses across the country and a return visit to showcase for the third season of “Laughs” on Fox.

In 2018 Tyler released his second album, “Full Circle” which was selected in January as the SiruisXM 98 artist of the month and debuted at #2 on the Billboard Comedy Charts. In 2018 Tyler also released his Dry Bar Comedy special “Wait for it” which has already received over 5 million views online.

Tyler continues to perform across the country at comedy clubs, colleges, and theaters bringing his incredible brand of humor wherever he goes. You can hear his comedy on Sirius XM Radio, Pandora, iTunes, and many other platforms online, but don’t miss the chance to see Tyler perform live!

Live Standup Comedy is back at Bremerton's Admiral Theatre with an all-new series produced in coordination with and hosted by Bremerton Comedy Legend The Great Cris! We are proud to present Comedian Don Friesen in an all new show this March.

Husband. Dad. Idiot.

His kids think he’s fun. His wife thinks he’s an idiot. Audiences think he’s hilarious!

Don is a modern suburban dad just trying to raise his kids and get through the day with a bit of money in the bank and a scrap of dignity intact. With a unique style that can best be described as frenetic and engaging, Don captures the irony of parenting, marriage and everyday absurdities through characters, voices, parodies and some of the best written routines around. He’s a wanna-be geek who constantly upgrades to the latest technology, but can never get it to work, leading to signature bits about tech support, Idiots Guides, texting and passwords.

Friesen has recently taken his smart, savvy, and highly-caffeinated comedy to the stage at the Alex Theatre in Glendale, CA, for the taping of his new Showtime one-hour special titled "Ask Your Mom." In his first nationally released concert special, Don delivers a winning hour of clever, true-to-life “he’s talking about my family up there” comedy that manages to be adult-smart yet family-friendly.

"Offbeat, satirical, self-deprecating and slightly out of control...Friesen will leave a lasting comic impression" - The Seattle Post-Intelligencer

Orny has had one hour stand up specials on Netflix, Comedy Central and his third special “More Than Loud” debuts in December on Showtime.

Orny has appeared all over television, most notably on The Tonight Show, Late Night with David Letterman and The Conan O’Brien Show.

Yakov Smirnoff is a legend in American comedy. After escaping communist Soviet Russia in the 1970’s, he came to this country with nothing but a dream. Not even knowing the language, Yakov humbly began working as a bartender at the famous Grossinger’s Catskill Resort in New York, where he was able to tell jokes each night after his shifts. As his English improved, he quickly grew in popularity. He would then make the move to Los Angeles where the owner of The Comedy Store, Mitzi Shore, took him under her wing.

His lovable view of life through the eyes of a poor immigrant captured the hearts of America. He soared to the top of the comedy world performing on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson and countless other television programs, including as a regular character on Night Court and the star of his very own show, named after his famous catch-phrase, “What a Country!” He branched out to the big screen where he starred in movies with Tom Hanks, Robin Williams, and Jack Nicholson to name a few. Still, one of his favorite achievements is obtaining his American citizenship in front of the Statue of Liberty in 1986. From his humble beginnings as a poor immigrant to living the American dream, Yakov has even performed for four U.S. Presidents and has been the main event for The White House Correspondents Dinner.

Yakov Smirnoff is a legendary comedian, a movie star, a best-selling author, and most recently, he has earned a doctorate degree from Pepperdine’s Graduate School of Education and Psychology. Living a life that’s as exciting as ever, Yakov has married his sweetheart, is currently touring the world doing stand-up, and even has his very own theater in Branson, Missouri. With the heart of a dreamer, Yakov Smirnoff has made the impossible possible and continues to inspire others with his message of love and laughter. Keep an eye out for his brand new podcast on ABC Radio, look for him at a theater near you, and stay tuned for what Dr. Yakov does next!
